Glimpse the Void Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I just finished converting this model using parts from both the ork and sm bike kits. I feel like it was a success, and am excited to share. http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2010/7/15/120753_sm-Axe,%20Bike,%20Conversion,%20Frost%20Axe,%20Lord,%20Space%20Marines,%20Space%20Wolves.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2010/7/15/120754_sm-Axe,%20Bike,%20Conversion,%20Frost%20Axe,%20Lord,%20Space%20Marines,%20Space%20Wolves.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2010/7/15/120755_sm-Axe,%20Bike,%20Conversion,%20Frost%20Axe,%20Lord,%20Space%20Marines,%20Space%20Wolves.jpg http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2010/7/15/120756_sm-Axe,%20Bike,%20Conversion,%20Frost%20Axe,%20Lord,%20Space%20Marines,%20Space%20Wolves.jpg I am going to base him popping that wheelie. I couldn't resist my urge to model this dude with the frost axe. I tried to put the hand at an angle that appeared natural. I think I may adjust it so it points straight up toward Valhalla. There were a few difficult parts of this conversion. Most of it was pretty straight forward but it was hard to get the SM legs on the Ork bike. They just weren't meant to fit and are to narrow. I accidentally broke them while I tried to cut them and get them to flex. The other hard part was getting the right distance between the handle bars and his arm. They bars just don't want to sit on the part of the bike where it would fit well. I had to play with it a lot. I slapped some wolf bits on that I liked. I'm wondering if they are to much. Also, I didn't include the exhaust pipes from the ork kit. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/206497-converted-bike-lord/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarl Bloodwolf Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 In the words of the guys from Dude Where's My Car " SHIMMY" :lol: That is awesome looking. I think the axe positioning looks perfect. Just one question, what sprue did you get the head from? Is it Wolf Guard?

Bikeninja Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I love that model. Yes the head is from the Wolf Guard Terminator box. I have looked at the bike route for my lord. Thinking I may try that conversion though. It looks nice.

RADU LYKAN Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 heres my wolf guard battle leader, didnt go over the top on his bike as if i do go for a wolf lord on bike i want his bike to be bigger and better than everyone elses :unsure: http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/spacewolves/PICT1033.jpg http://i364.photobucket.com/albums/oo90/RADU_LYKAN/spacewolves/PICT1034.jpg if i was to do a lord on bike then i would probably go down the ork bike route, it just looks that much more brutal than the standard marine one as both yours and max dammit's pics show. will he be getting any green stuffing regarding hair/beard etc?

Glimpse the Void Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 Thanks for all the words of encouragement. @Max: That thing is awesome. Makes my axe look a little puny. Where did you get those sick looking guns? @Krewl: I'm so backed up in the painting department right now! I swear to post the pics once I've done it justice. I've not painted anything in a long time, so I'm practicing on my long fang squads and WG before I start on the characters. @RADU LYKAN: Love that model. The spear makes a lot more sense than an axe. I'll have to be sure to model some of those as I build the unit. Did you use a head from the Marauder horse kit? It seems I've no choice but to green stuff the head after looking at your bike. I've not ever tried hair before, and will have to learn how to go about it. Anybody got links handy?

RADU LYKAN Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 yeah i think its a marauder horseman head. doing hair is one of the easiest things to do with green stuff, just plonk a bit on and use something sharp (i use a safety pin for ease of wielding) to drag lines in it. do this a lot of times, keeping in mind the style you are after and eventually you will end up with something you like.
